VisitIDF Footage Shows Hamas Leader's Wife Carrying $32,000 Hermès Birkin into Gaza Tunnels
Oct 20, 2024, 01:47 AM
Footage released by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shows Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar, the wife of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, carrying what appears to be a black Hermès Birkin 25 handbag, valued at approximately $32,000, as she enters tunnels in Gaza on October 6, just before the attacks on Israel. The sighting has sparked criticism and debate on social media, with observers highlighting the stark contrast between the luxury item and the economic hardships faced by the residents of Gaza. Some have questioned whether the bag is indeed a Birkin, while others point out that acquiring such a handbag could require spending an additional $32,500 at Hermès to qualify for purchase, potentially bringing the total to $65,000. The incident has raised concerns about the misappropriation of humanitarian aid funds by Hamas officials and the lavish lifestyles of their families.
